XM Directory

I need to automate my email distribution using an email workflow, based on an embedded data field. While scheduling a specific time-based event, I'm only seeing the option to add a Task - the condition/decision option isn't appearing. Could someone please guide me on how to implement this.  

Hi community,I wanted to ask if any of you have done an integration between Emarsys and Qualtrics using SAP Integration Suite?If so, could you please share how you did it?I'd really appreciate any information or a step-by-step guide. Thank you very much!

 Hi there, I have created embedded variables, all mapped correctly and I can pull from these using pipped text so I know the embedded variables are working. Embedded data in the workflowFor some reason when I am trying to import embedded data into the XM Directory workflow, only one variable (“postal 2”) is showing up and the rest are only available under “transactional data” (e.g., “emaile”; ps. I spelled email like that to differentiate it from the contact ‘email’).  Showing the only embedded data showing upShowing that embedded data is showing up as transactionalDoes anyone know why this is the case? Thanks in advance!

We are looking to broaden the use of Qualtrics from our small team to the rest of our organization and I am trying to putting together protocols and best practices to share with new users. Since the XM directory has limited permissions right now, I'm concerned the directory will get out of hand quickly (e.g. number of embedded data fields). Does anyone have any protocols/guidance that you have created for your organization that you'd be willing to share? Or tips and lessons learned from having multiple people utilizing the same directory for different work? We have created multiple directories already, but with the nature our work, teams will need to share directories.

Please helpI have several different lists currently, and am needing to find a way to automatically notify and export contacts who have unsubscribed from any list. Our legal team have mandated that we must unsubscribe these people so I need a way to get them out, that doesn't involve me manually jumping in running a filter in each list and exporting.

Hi All,We’re excited to roll out our new Candidate Experience Program from Qualtrics, which includes a series of five pre-defined surveys aligned with key stages in the candidate journey.To enable this, I’m receiving candidate data along with their current stage in the process from the HR system. However, I’m facing some challenges in configuring the workflow to trigger the appropriate survey based on each candidate’s stage.The surveys need to be sent at the following points:When a candidate applies for a role When a candidate is shortlisted When a candidate is not shortlisted After a successful interview After rejection at the interview stage When an offer is accepted When an offer is declinedPreviously, using contact import automations and email distribution automations, we could link multiple distributions to a single contact import and apply metadata filters to ensure emails were sent only to candidates in the relevant stages.In the new workflow setup, I’m unable to locate a task o

We are needing to have the ExternalDataReference exported for anyone who unsubscribes from a list or directory, ideally via SFTP export. Current functionality allows this for survey responses but not for unsubscribes. Any possible solutions here?

We are adding embedded data fields in our digital intercept with success.There is a data type called XM Directory Contact Data and every support article I can find must be old because this option is skipped in every one.Can someone tell me what this is and how to use it?

Hello! I have an XM contact directory with several embedded data fields. I am trying to pull them in as embedded into a web intercept survey response.  We have followed all the steps here: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/website-app-feedback/common-use-cases/xm-directory-integration-with-digital-intercepts/ When we look at our pages source, we can see the visitors are being identified properly with our internal customer number.  That number matches the External data reference field in the XM directory. We can’t figure out the next step. The support article says it will happen “automatically” but it isn’t. We can see our customer number as embedded data since we set it in the intercept and as an embedded data field in the survey. How do we connect the external data reference from our website to the directory? I am missing something. Thank you for your help. It seems this should be easy!

Hi All, I am trying to assign unique IDs for participants filling out my survey. I am storing first name, last name, last name, email and phone number to an XM Directory Lite Contact List. I want Qualtrics to search this list before assigning IDs to participants.  Basically, If someone fills out the survey and reports an email that already exists on the XM contact list (i.e., they are trying to fill out the survey again), they will be assigned a value of -55. If someone fills out the survey and reports an email that doesn’t exist on the contact list (i.e, they have NOT filled out the survey already), they will be assigned a new unique ID. I have asked the Qualtrics AI, but nothing seems to be working. Please see the image for what I have tried.Where “emaile” = email that the participant reported in the survey Where “Email” is the embedded email from the XM Directory Contact List.  

Hi, Like the title suggests, we use Qualtrics to collect client demographics. Currently we have no way for clients to quickly sign in if they are a member. I’m trying to streamline their arrival by designing a “self sign-in” survey where they are prompted to add their membership code and then their demographics are automatically fill the rest of the survey questions. I’ve gotten as far as creating a contact list and using an authenticator in the survey flow but it is problematic when I try put the pipe text into the answer field. Right now it will only accept it into the question line. When I go through the survey as a test, the answer will be in the question line rather than the answer box. Help! 

Hi Community!Today I discovered that the JSON payload trigger functionality in Qualtrics is going to be deprecated. This means Qualtrics is phasing out this feature, and I will need to transition to alternative methods for triggering surveys and integrating with external systems. Which functionality do you recommend or find similar to the one I was using, where I created XMD contact and distributed surveys after receiving a JSON payload through a single API call?current distribution tree in a stand-alone workflowI need to replace the first step, as the message in that step is unclear and does not provide any guidance on what to do.Your guidance and help is much appreciated.  

There seems to be a huge flaw in the functionality of the respondent funnel as there is no way to correct inaccurate data if there was mistake on the initial distribution data. This is means we have no way to create accurate dashboards that involve distribution data. I’m hoping someone can help as we use the response funnel data to create response rates which are very important to many our of survey clients. We accidentally left out an embedded data field in one of our contact upload and so it was missing from the distribution data when we did the send. Now we have no way of correcting is because Qualtrics says all distribution data is point in time and can’t be changed. But if the data exist in the back end of the platform in the respondent funnel data table then there has to be way to edit it. Has anyone had this issue and found any way to correct this? 

Hi everybody,I have a question about the best way to proceed - perhaps your experience can help me.BackgroundWe would like to set up an NPS survey that we use at a touchpoint in the customer journey.The e-mail addresses come from our CRM system - which one is not relevant in this context, I think.Unique links are to be generated which are then sent back to the CRM and to the mail programme.The addresses and other socio-demographic data are to be recorded in the questionnaire (but this is not part of the question).The sample is drawn in the CRM system once a week. Questions:Now I ask myself what makes the most sense - should it be a list in which all participants are included over time and I extract a sample every week (this would then be the newly added contacts) and in addition how can I automate this?Or do I arrange for a new list to be created once a week and take the sample from this - in this case it would be 100%In both cases it gets very confusing at some point - and this ist ju

Grouping my multiple choice questions helped to do the logic in the right way. I hide the group title but can't figure out how to unhide it.

Hi,I have a list created in Segments in List section of Directory.I have no rules for merging contacts.I already have a record in list as below (for example):I now would like to add another record as below (Only ExternalDataReference is new): But it updates the 1st record and shows only 1 record as below updating the ExternalDataReference:I have other lists exactly same as this with also no rules set and it add them as 2 records.Please suggest what am I doing wrong.Thanks.

Hi, I am curious if most companies are sending all their customer profiles to XM Directory on a daily basis? Our business users want to be able to self serve and select different customers with different products for their surveys. We have a VERY large customer base sending it daily may not be feasible. Wanted to understand what other large companies are doing with their XM Directory.

I have a workflow that already setup.After copy this workflow and move the T-ID 5 down, modify the top Decision. I got an interface error.  The origin workflow The error: The condition automatic duplicate into 2 and the workflow branch into 2 Is is a error from Qualtrics or did i configutation step is wrong?

Hi, I have an intercept from our desktop webapp that is working perfectly in the sense that it is pop-over correctly or show the survey with the right language correctly. Meaning, it is working well for identifying the audience and pop the required creative. However, it doesn’t create the contacts in the directory it is attached to. This is despite the fact I marked it in the general project settings  In general the code has inside the following:   window.QSI = window.QSI || {};  QSI.config = QSI.config || {};var configUpdate = {        externalReference: userData.user_id,        firstName: userData.firstName,        lastName: userData.lastName,        language: languageName,        email: userData.email,        contactEmbeddedData: {            user_id: userData.id,            operator_id: userData.actor_id,            distributor_id: userData.distributor_id,            Q_Language: languageName,            user_email: userData.email,            platform: 'CM'        },  What am I miss

Hello, We are approaching our seat limit with our contract, and want to remove some employees who are no longer with the company to free up some of our seats. I am hesitant to move forward with this because it says ALL data connected with user will be lost. Does that include previous survey responses? I am under the impression that it is any surveys that they may have owned but am looking more specifically about data loss. Any clarity would be appreciated! 

Good morning, community... Can you help me with this problem? We are experiencing a high number of email bounces when sending messages to our contact list. Based on my analysis, most of them are due to Email Hard Bounce. However, I tested sending an email to some of these contacts, and the email did not bounce—it was successfully delivered to the recipient. Do you know any other reasons why these bounces might be happening?

HelloI need a little help with regards to Directory setting > Identity Resolution.Let say I want to merge existing contacts based on contact info. Once the merging is completed, let say I need to look for a specific contact on directory contacts, ex: Mr X, will I still have all information about ‘Lists’ and ‘Statistics’.. I mean all the lists from which Mr X was included, the total invites received, the total responses etc..? 

I’m trying to merge my existing contacts. Some do merge but many do not because I get an error saying some clients have more than 500 duplicates. I’m wondering is there a way to find the ones that have 500+ without downloading the entire list, which could take a very long time? Is there something else I could do. Thank you,Alan Traverse

I have a Matrix/constant sum type question without the “Total” row. How do I hide the auto-populated zeros? See attached image.I have the following JS but this does not work --Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){    /*TO HIDE THE ZEROS IN THE TEXT BOXES (DEFAULT)*/        var inputs = jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .SumInput");    if(inputs.filter(function() {return this.value != "0";}).length == 0) {        inputs.val("");         }}); 

Hello,I need to merge existing contacts with same external data reference, email addresses, FirstName, LastName, Title but I need to be sure whether Qualtrics will keep the Project name (Survey Name) after I have merged duplicate existing contacts in directories. The project name enables me to retrace from which survey a contact has responded. Will this information be kept after merging using identity resolution?
